What Is Meghan Markle’s Net Worth? I've Got All the Deets

Her current solo value is unknown because her finances have merged with that of Prince Harry. But according to Celebrity Net Worth, the royal couple have a combined net worth of $60 million—thanks in part to their lucrative Netflix and Spotify deals.

Prior to marrying Prince Harry, Markle’s net worth was $5 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. This comes as no surprise, since Markle had already established a successful acting career before meeting her husband. Her credits include Suits, Horrible Bosses, Dater's Handbook and Anti-Social.

Markle's most high-profile role to date was playing Rachel Zane on the TV show Suits (she remains close with the cast to this day), but she also appeared on other popular shows, such as CSI: Miami and 90210.

According to knownetworth.com, she made more than $50,000 per episode on Suits, and her annual salary was "around $450,000, which also included around $80,000 worth of annual sponsorship/endorsements income." The site also reported that she was paid $187,000 for appearing in the film Remember Me and $171,429 for The Candidate, which were both released in 2010. 

Markle made multiple appearances as a model on Deal Or No Deal. In each episode, she held a suitcase and waited to be chosen by the contestants as they guessed which suitcase held the most money. According to Express, she was paid $800 per episode.

Before she deleted her social media accounts, Markle used different platforms as another source of income, though the exact amount is unknown. She had a lifestyle website called The Tig, which she shut down in April 2017. That same month, she ended her partnership with the Canadian retailer Reitmans, for which she had released two clothing collections. And of course, there was Instagram. The duchess even dabbled in some sponsored content and endorsements back in her day.

Now, the duchess has launched a new lifestyle brand, American Riviera. Her income from the endeavor remains to be seen, but things are currently in motion, with Markle's celeb friends already receiving American Riviera jams in the mail.

Although the Duke and Duchess did not earn a specific paycheck as working members of the royal family, they received annual allowances to help them to carry out their duties. In fact, the old version of their official website includes a full breakdown of how the system worked.

The funding page reads, "Since the establishment of The Office of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, 95 percent of the funding received for their Office expenditure is derived from income allocated by HRH The Prince of Wales, generated through the Duchy of Cornwall. This provision has been in place since Prince William and Prince Harry first established their offices in support of The Queen, and is the responsibility of The Prince of Wales."

It continues, "The remaining five percent of funding for the Office of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, covering costs associated with employing members of their official office, is received through the Sovereign Grant." 

Per Forbes, in September 2020, Markle and her husband signed a five-year, $100 million contract with Netflix to produce documentaries, films, scripted shows and children’s programs. So far, they've delivered two docuseries, including Live to Lead and Harry and Meghan.

Markle also had plans to release her animated children's series, Pearl, which she created through her and Harry's production company, Archewell Productions. However, Netflix dropped the series before it premiered.
